I can't see her in censuses either, but there are a couple of deaths which might account for that:

Deaths Mar 1852 (>99%)
Bull Sarah Southampton 2c 14

Deaths Sep 1857 (>99%)
Bull Sarah Southampton 2c 34

Researching:
Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.

I will check that one out Austin.

I have found and read the other newspaper articles you mentioned, so thank you for pointing them out to me.

The "Shocking Destitution" article regarding father Isaac, is indeed, absolutely shocking.

Thank you ArgyllGran.


Part of the article

Sergeant Harris visited the defendant's house and found the room occupied by his children in a most filthy state. There was no furniture save for the four posts of a bed, thick with dirt, a basin and a spoon: on the bedstead were a few dirty pieces of rag in which the defendants three children had endeavoured to envelope for warmth: without this they were in a state of nudity and suffering from infectious disease. They were all huddled together------------it gets worse!

Father Isaac was tolerably well clothed when he appeared in court.
